Rockstar Wants GTA 6 to be Absolute “Perfect”

As we approach the ten-year mark since the release of Grand Theft Auto 5, it’s important to acknowledge the significant passage of time in the gaming industry. Interestingly, the disastrous reveal of the Xbox One, which occurred around the same time, feels more distant despite GTA 5 launching on the previous generation of consoles, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Rockstar Games, however, has managed to keep the game relevant by porting it to subsequent console generations and maintaining the immensely popular GTA Online. Nevertheless, gamers have been eagerly anticipating the release of Grand Theft Auto 6, and their impatience has been growing.

Rockstar GTA 6

The CEO of Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games, recently mentioned that the development of GTA 6 has been challenging, with the studio striving for perfection. This statement raises concerns, considering previous reports of crunch and excessive working hours within the company. Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two, discussed these challenges during an interview on The Aarthi and Sriram Show, shedding light on the difficulties that Rockstar faces in creating the highly anticipated sequel.

During the interview, Zelnick discussed how he manages the expectations and pressure from the gaming community when it comes to new releases. He initially referenced the Civilization series as an example, highlighting how fans may not always embrace the new additions that accompany each new installment. However, he then transitioned to discussing the Grand Theft Auto series, specifically addressing the topic at the 31:12 timestamp in the video.

During the interview, Zelnick acknowledged the significant challenge of meeting fan expectations when releasing sequels or evolving franchises, using the Civilization series as an example. He then shifted the focus to Rockstar and their flagship franchise, Grand Theft Auto. Zelnick highlighted the immense pressure faced by Rockstar with each new iteration of the game.

He emphasized that the team at Rockstar strives to create something entirely fresh and unprecedented with each installment while still capturing the essence and feel of the Grand Theft Auto experience. He acknowledged the difficulty of this task, stating that seeking nothing less than perfection is Rockstar’s approach to meet these high expectations.

Rockstar Games has indeed established a reputation for setting high standards, even if it meant subjecting its staff to crunch periods. Reports surfaced in 2018 that employees were working 100-hour weeks during the development of Red Dead Redemption 2. However, the company has since acknowledged the need for change and has made significant efforts to improve its working practices. They have claimed to have implemented reforms and scaled down the scope of GTA 6 to avoid excessive overtime.

Regarding the release of GTA 6, there have been indications that it may launch in 2024. During the previous earnings call, Zelnick hinted that the upcoming year would be a significant one in terms of earnings. While this suggests that GTA 6 could play a part in driving those financial results, no specific release date or details have been officially confirmed by Rockstar Games at this time.
